I know it's a democracy, but. . .

My Messer!!!!!!! is still being censored, too.

I'd better not make a complaint here about Volks!!!!! then.

I have heard that Winston Churchill's' grandson is not very happy that his grandfather's picture appears on UKIP's election literature.

Why not give the BNP a chance? Might sort this pathetic mess of a bureaucracy of a country out! :beer:

Maybe, but they are most certainly getting my vote this year!
Good luck to Nick Griffin and his crew, long live the queen. :T

You can ask the Royal Mail to take you off the junk mail list. This means no political junk, no 'for the home owner', no 'insurance for the over 50's' and no swine flu leaflets.

However you can't stop the leaflet delivery people.

We had a no leaflets/no salespeople sign on our front door, and it didn't stop them, but it give them an idea of the reaction they would get if they rang the bell.

Apparently it does not mean no political junk mail. I am registered with MPS and Royal Mail, but still occasionally get a hit of unaddressed stuff. When I put a sign on my box asking for no junk mail, I regularly got sweet wrappers.

Bumped into our regular postie the other day who, on seeing me go to my box, advised me that he had to deliver the political leaflets! Wasn't too impressed as that day's offering was BNP - I didn't fancy carting it to work and home again for recycling as I usually would. :rolleyes:

You don't have to vote for a racist party to like the Royal Family.

I believe it says in the Representation of the People Acts that it is your right to receive leaflets or mail from any of the political parties which have candidates standing, on the grounds that you then make a free choice based on knowledge. How are you to vote if you know nothing about the party or individual candidate that you're voting for?

I've been out leafleting for the English Democrats and I don't regard our leaflets as 'junk mail'. They give information about our candidates and what our party is all about. This is especially important if you're a newer, smaller party without the resources and manpower of the 'big three', which also means we don't get a mention in the media. People are entitled to know.

Of course, if you've made your mind up in advance, then that's what you'll do.

There's a saying 'If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you always got'.

I'm surprised to see so many MoneySavers in support of the Monarchy, the Royals make the MPs expenses claims seem like pocket money.

As to PROLIANT I suggest you do a little more research into Nick Griffin and the BNP before you brand yourself a fascist by voting for them.

I watched a bit of the UKIP's tv advert. I like the bit where it says
"have you noticed how many more traffic jams there are now?" er... no!
"difficulty getting your child in to a school" er.... no!
"overpopulated cities" er..... no!

I love England and where I live and I've barely noticed a change that I don't like.
